International Women’s Day

Women have seen only “marginal improvements” in the world of work in the past 20 years, according to a global study.

The International Labour Organization (ILO) said the difference in the employment rate between men and women had decreased by 0.6% since 1995.

In countries where women access work more easily, the quality of their jobs “remains a matter of concern”.

The findings come as events take place to mark International Women’s Day.
